Adventure Holidays to the Carpathian Mountains

Holidays to the upspoilt Carpathian Mountains are a fresh take on the wildlife and conservation holiday. They form the eastern wing of the great Central Mountain System of Europe, curving 1500 km along the borders of Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine, Austria, Serbia, and northern Hungary. History and geography conspired to make Transylvania in central Romania one of Europe’s most beautifully wild and fascinating regions. For centuries the locals have existed in harmony with a variety of wildlife, including Europe’s highest concentration of wolves, lynx and bears – almost half the European population of brown bears is recorded in the Carpathian Mountains. Meanwhile, dense forests have remained largely untouched. There are spectacular canyons, virgin forests and fairytale Saxon villages to explore, making it the perfect destination for a walking holiday.
